Days for Girls Stanwood-Camano Island WA Chapter

Days for Girls Stanwood-Camano Island WA Chapter We meet every First and Third Friday each month except December. Times 10 am - 12 pm. Please join us in this fun but important work.

In 2013, Days for Girls Stanwood-Camano Island joined sewers all over the world to empower menstruators to stay in school and the workplace, improving their own lives and those of their families. We’ve done this by making and distributing free, washable, safe, eco-friendly menstrual products to over 2.4 million menstruators in 44 countries. Recently, we received two grants that will allow us to extend our services for the first time to local schools, food banks, community resource centers, homeless shelters, and other places that cater to people concerned about their health, their finances, and the health of our earth. Even if you can’t sew, there are plenty of volunteer activities available to you working with the materials or helping to distribute them. Contact us at stanwoodcamanoislandwa@daysforgirls.org

Save the date! This Giving Tuesday (Dec 2), help us unlock matching funds through so we can reach even more girls with knowledge, dignity, and opportunity.

This year, we are excited to highlight Educating for Menstrual Equity in Cambodia, a project that brings menstrual health education to students who are eager to understand their bodies and strengthen their futures.

In 2025, we trained 316 teachers and trainee teachers, supported them to reach 7,141 students with menstrual health education, and distributed 3,776 locally made DfG Kits to female students and teachers, surpassing all our program goals for the year.

Share, donate, spread the word- every action helps us reach more girls.

I met this teenage girl, Alice, in Uganda, shortly after she had been forced by her father to marry an older man because the US aid cuts had impoverished her family and the area. “I cried when my dad told me to get married,” Alice told me. “But when the food aid got cut off, he said I had to marry.”

I tell her story in today's column to underscore a point: While the US cuts in humanitarian aid have affected everyone, they have disproportionately hurt women and girls. It is women and girls who are being forced to drop out of school, who are dying in childbirth, who can't get reproductive health care for ailments like cervical cancer -- and who are married off so young. In effect, traditional discrimination against girls is magnified when resources are scarce.

Here's a gift link to the column: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/27/opinion/uganda-women-girls-trump-aid-cuts.html?unlocked_article_code=1.pE8.BBkZ.h9DNADKWh8oU&smid=url-share I hope you'll read and spread the word.

What a nice packaging idea!

COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT SUNDAY: Days for Girls

We're honored to highlight Days for Girls, an incredible organization working to break down barriers to education and opportunity for girls and women around the world through menstrual health, hygiene education, and sustainable feminine care solutions.

How we're connected: Days for Girls has generously donated reusable menstrual pads to our marketplace, ensuring that period poverty doesn't prevent anyone in our community from accessing what they need. Their donation means our visitors can find high-quality, sustainable feminine care products completely free - no questions asked.

The impact: Through their locally-sewn, reusable feminine hygiene kits and health education, Days for Girls has reached millions of girls and women globally. Right here in our community, their donation to our marketplace ensures that periods never have to be a barrier to school, work, or daily life.
